NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-EYening News
extra says: D. A. No. 40, put on an adj
ditional coat of war paint at its confer
ence early this morning and ordered out
everybody in the beer, ale and porter
breweries in this city, Yonkers, Jersey
City, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Newark
and Patterson, as well as the members
of the Eccentric association of station
airy engineers employed in the different
factories within its jurisdiction. The
order is to go into effect tomorrow, and
it is estimated that the number of men
who will stop work in the brewerieS
will amount to about II, 900. The num-
work by the strike of the engineers will
run far into the thousands.
No exact general estimate
can be formed at present but it is GER
tain that if they do quit the majority
of the big factories will have to close
down. No. 40 claims that on the
strength of assurances that arrange
ments were being made for arbitrating
the coal troubles it rested on its oars
and lost some ground, Now it intends
to regain that ground and get some
more. The members of No. 49's execu-
tive board say they have positive infor-
nation that some of the coal companies
are pressed for loan, on the national
banks and they believe that with the
arrangements they are making in con-
nectiOn with the stopping of works by
the employees of breWeries and the
engineers the demand for coal will grow
limited that the coal companies will be so
glad to come to terms. The ostensible
reasons for the strike is that the brew
cries and other manufacturers are using
scab coal. To reporter high official
of No. 40 said this afternoon: "You can
say that all stories that the strike was
on the point of disrupt n and coming to
an and have been made through misun-
derstanding or manufactured out
of whole cloth. District Assem-
bly, No. 40 had simply ceased
from pushing matters further in the
idea that the coal companies were
about to have all differences settled by
arbitration. We have been deceived on
that point and now we intend to renew
the battle with a vengeance nor will the
extension of the strike stop with the
measures to be carried out tomorrow.
If necessary we shall call out in other
lines. The news flew along the piers
and wharves and the strikers visible
were unusually numerous and much
more cheerful than they have been for
some days. James E. Quinn, master
VI NOs 40
and Victor Drury went to Boston last
night. They are to confer with district
assembly No. 40, of Massachusetts in
relation to the strike. The knights in
Massachusetts may be called out wher-
ever scab coal is used.
RAILROAD MEN STRIKE.
CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, Feb. 10.-Al
the yard conductors, brakemen and
firemen of the Pittsburg, McKeesport
& YoughiOgheny railroad are on
strike for an increase of wages that had
been promised them ten days ago. The
engineers are at their posts, but have
no assistance, hence not freight wheel
has been turned to-day at Dickson
Run and Maysville, and bad blockade
of ears is the result. The men want an
advance of their wages of from IA ty 25
per cent. 1t is thought the matter will
be compromised.
MINERS RESUME WORK.
PTTTsBURG, Feb. 10.-The Mononga-
hela miners resumed work this morn
ing in first, second and third pools.
The trouble in regard to the mining
rate pool promises to be amicably set
tied. The miners have evinced a dis
position to help their employers to fill
their contracts.
